A full-fledged one day tour! - Joining Bella's one day tour is really great and comfortable! I've heard a lot of stories about Korea's history and got a lot of positive reviews!

Great tour! Bella spoke very well! - Bella was very detailed! I love guided tours of Washington and know a lot of history. Not only can the integration of knowledge within and outside the country, but also combine their own experience, telling the real history of the visitors; the Starbucks Library can be well visited and photographed, the story of the bright cavern is also worth listening. The car is very clean, the trip will not be too tired, it is very worth everyone to participate!

Great Tour! - Great tour, great guide, great driver. Tour included more than I expected. Surprisingly small group (4) which led to lots of personal attention from our guide, Alice. Alice was friendly & knowledgeable about everything we were seeing. Historical & current events were covered. She kept us organized and on time, carefully explaining when & where to meet after any free time. Our driver was safe & efficient handling easily traffic I wouldn’t want to drive in.

A great experience - We loved the tour and had a great experience. Alice was very knowledgeable about Korea history and culture. We learned a lot from her. She was very friendly and warm. We learned a lot about Korea through our conversations. She took a lot of pictures for us and sent them through WhatsApp. She was very flexible and was willing to accommodate our requests. Our driver Andy also went out of way to make us more comfortable during the trip. Overall, a great experience. Highly recommend.

An exceptional day trip with outstanding guide Crystal Na - An exceptional day trip with outstanding guide Crystal Na!** From punctual hotel pick-up to convenient drop-off, every detail was seamless. Crystal's expertise shone at Hwaseong Fortress, where her storytelling made history come alive, while Gwangmyeong Cave's magical atmosphere became our favorite stop. Beyond guiding, Crystal became our personal photographer and cultural ambassador, sharing fascinating insights about Korean traditions and even suggesting great spots for our next destinations. Her professionalism, warmth and attention to detail made this more than just a tour - it was a genuine cultural immersion. The perfect blend of education and entertainment, we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend, especially with Crystal!"
